In the dark green ocean, a huge monster was slowly following behind the fleet.
Its constantly squirming body is filled with corpses of monks without any trace of digestion. At first glance, it looks like a large number of corpses are following it.
Even experienced monks will feel a sense of unspeakable panic in their hearts after seeing this scene.
His rational and stable thinking was unknowingly affected and he gradually fell into a state of madness.
After all, at this moment, they are not monks flying into the sky and escaping from the earth, but poor people who are restricted by the rules of the purple light world and may lose their lives at any time.
Whenever a sea monster is about to approach the fleet, a monk's body will be thrown into the sea, and then it will be swallowed silently by the sea monster.
The sea monster that gets food will disappear, but will appear again soon. The difference is that the time interval is getting shorter and shorter, and it is getting closer and closer to the fleet.
If this situation continues, it may not be long before the corpses of the monks on the ship will be used up.
At that time, the sea monster may appear under the flat-bottomed wooden boat and either tear the flat-bottomed wooden boat into pieces or swallow all the monks on board.
The crisis was right in front of them, and the monks were thinking of ways to see how they could survive this disaster.
Tang Zhen was also busy, collecting sawdust from the flat-bottomed wooden boat and grinding it into a pile of wood powder.
Use monks' clothing and wooden boats as fuel, then use water containers to fill seawater, and ignite the flames through the collision of metals.
After the flame ignited, he began to boil the seawater, only to find bursts of black gas coming out of the boiling seawater.
The smell of black gas is simply unpleasant.
It took a full hour to go around on the flat-bottomed wooden boat and get out everything that could be collected, blended and refined.
During the preparation process, more than a dozen monks' corpses were thrown down, and there were not many corpses left on the wooden boat.
Putting all the items in front of him, Tang Zhen pondered for more than ten seconds and immediately started to prepare them.
Not long after, a pile of dark powder was adjusted by Tang Zhen and poured into the bottle used to hold water.
Many special runes are drawn on these bottles, which look simple and unsophisticated.
When the old man next to him saw this, he immediately became interested. After all, rune arrays were what he was good at.
But after reading it, he discovered that he didn't recognize any of the runes written by Tang Zhen.
The old man could be sure that the runes were definitely not random scribblings, but had functions he didn't know about.
Although he wanted to ask for advice, seeing Tang Zhen's busy and serious look, the old man gave up the idea for the time being.
Tang Zhen was still busy. He put all the bottles together and then tied them tightly with wooden strips.
In the middle bottle was a cloth roll with a piece of burning charcoal inside.
The cloth roll was stuffed into the bottle, Tang Zhen poured the black powder into it, and then sealed it.
Carrying a lot of bottles, Tang Zhen found the body of a muscular monk and opened his belly with a paddle.
Under the comments of the monks, Tang Zhen stuffed a bunch of bottles in and then performed simple sutures.
Seeing what Tang Zhen did, the monks' eyes lit up, and they had vaguely guessed Tang Zhen's plan.
The specially made items, combined with the monk's body, are clearly meant to deal with the monster under the sea!
As soon as this thought came up, the sea monster that had just swallowed the body appeared again in the dark green ocean.
Tang Zhen raised his hand and flicked it, and the corpse of the monk who had been processed flew up and fell into the sea silently.
The huge sea monster rushed forward without any hesitation and swallowed the corpse in one gulp.
When the monks saw this, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, with a flash of expectation in their eyes.
"Sir, are you trying to..."
The old man stood by and finally had the opportunity to ask questions.
"Don't worry yet. Have you noticed that the monster didn't leave this time?"
Tang Zhen stared at the sea and said in a solemn tone.
"That's right...what's going on?"
After hearing Tang Zhen's reminder, the old man discovered something unusual. The sea monster that was supposed to leave after devouring the body was still hanging at the back of the fleet.
Other monks also discovered the anomaly, and couldn't help but secretly worry, wondering whether the monster's abnormal situation was related to what Tang Zhen had just done?
"If I guessed correctly, it should feel that one corpse is not enough and hopes to get more corpses."
Tang Zhen said with a sneer, raised his foot and kicked it gently, and another monk's body fell into the sea.
Seeing this, the sea monster rushed up again, ready to continue to devour.
"Everyone, listen to my orders. If you don't want to die, slide the oar with all your strength."
Tang Zhen turned around and yelled at a group of monks, perhaps deliberately, as his expression looked very ferocious at this moment.
The monks who received the order did not dare to hesitate at all, and they all tried their best to slide the oars.
Although it was silent, the flat-bottomed wooden boat was moving rapidly on the green sea like an arrow from the string.
"It's almost time..."
Tang Zhen stared at the sea monster that was chasing after him. His eyes seemed to penetrate the sea monster's body and saw the pile of bottles hidden in the monk's body.
The charcoal that was always burning burned through the cloth wrapped around it and came into contact with the black powder placed in the bottle.
Tang Zhen used his accumulated knowledge to configure a special explosive under limited conditions.
Explosives are very powerful. If combined with the runes on the bottle, the power can be increased by at least ten times.
If it were in the outside world, no matter how powerful it was, the monks would not even bother to use it.
But at this moment, it is a good thing that the monks can only ask for, which can help them get out of the fatal crisis.
Under the gaze of a group of monks, a ball of flame suddenly erupted from the body of the sea monster that had been chasing behind the fleet.
Like a scorching sun, it rises from the ocean and completely illuminates the surrounding sea area.
The greedy sea monster that was chasing after it seemed to be torn apart by invisible hands, and it was torn apart in an instant.
From the huge and transparent body, countless corpses leaked out, floating around in the dark green ocean.
Seeing this scene, the monks roared excitedly.
Tang Zhen was unmoved, but stared intently at the sea behind him, his expression becoming more solemn.
The excited old man beside him noticed Tang Zhen's expression and followed his gaze.
His expression began to change, his eyes widened, and his body even trembled slightly.
In the dark green ocean, the corpses of the monks flowing out of the monster's body were being soaked in the sea water, slowly turning into the black color soaked in ink.
The monks had seen this kind of black corpse just now and chopped it into pieces.
"See, this is what I'm most worried about."
Tang Zhen sighed softly, seeming a little helpless.
"After killing this sea monster, there will definitely be trouble, and now it's here."
The old man nodded, then looked at Tang Zhen and asked in a difficult tone: "Excuse me, sir, what should we do next?"
Tang Zhen shook his head and sighed: "What else can I do? I can only tie my body with an iron chain to avoid being dragged into the sea by the monster, and then run as far as I can!"
The old man nodded, turned to look at the monks, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, the corpses in the sea have turned into monsters, the kind of black guys.
Don’t hesitate, everyone, row your boat with all your strength and escape together!”
